COVID-19 Considerations
Can I get a refund on student fees for services I won't be using in Fall 2020?
Student fees are an important source of funding for valuable programs and services on our campuses. The university relies on funding from fees to support various ongoing operations, so fees that you pay this semester are critical to providing continued excellent services, in-person and virtually, now and in future semesters.
Fees are calculated into our Estimated Cost of Attendance, which is important to how we receive funds from the government to be used for students' federal financial aid. The Estimated Cost of Attendance is set well in advance of the academic year in order to provide sufficient time for calculating and disbursing accurate aid packages for students. Any refund of fees jeopardizes the accuracy of financial aid awards. However, we can refund some fees on an as-requested basis.
Before you request a fee refund, we ask you to consider the significance of the fee as a source of funding for important programs in future semesters. Any fees you are willing and able to pay now are an investment in the university experience for you and all Wildcats in the future.
Should you wish to continue to request fee waivers you can follow the instructions provided on the linked web pages for the following waive-able fees. Any other fees you see on your statement are mandatory and cannot be waived.
